  2. Prater has not missd any kicks, plus a game-winner that he so cooly walked-up with the clock running and nailed, tho Hamilton missed blocking by a hair as our edge missed the block...so Prater is good....with lingering pelvic soreness Bass may have a sports hernia ?  surgery would have him out 2-3 months, if so the answer is IR and Prater replaces (now the oldest player to every play for the Bills)...one for the old guys !

    The Bills entire defense is rusty from lack playing time in preseason.

    You can blame McD for coddling the boys...

    and protecting from injury..its a two-edge sword...they do need the reps..esp the tackling and angles needed to do properly...

    Rapp like to hit..but not be hit

    ugh. I have a buddy who said this is a sports hernia. Has anyone else seen that? I think that probably means surgery and likely out for the season.

    if so...

     

    There are two main types of surgical techniques used to treat sports hernias: 

    Open Surgery:

    .

    The surgeon makes a larger incision in the groin area to access and repair the injured tissues. 

    Laparoscopic Surgery:

    .

    This is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon. 

    Recovery and Rehabilitation 

    After surgery, patients typically require a period of rest and rehabilitation to allow the injured tissues to heal. Physical therapy is an important part of the recovery process and may include exercises to strengthen the core, hip, and groin muscles. 

    Most patients can return to their previous level of activity within 6-12 weeks after surgery. However, it is important to follow the surgeon's instructions carefully and avoid activities that may aggravate the condition. 

    Success Rates 

    The success rates for sports hernia surgery are generally high. Studies have shown that over 90% of patients report significant improvement in pain and function after surgery.

    Weird rep indeed. It looks like he got beat inside, but he didn't have to. He just kep watching the WR and had no idea WTF was going on with the football. 

    Speaking of, has anybody noticed that defenders seem to never turn around and look for the ball anymore? It seems like most replays I just see a WR running with their head upfield towards the WR with their hands in the air. Looking for the ball used to be the prerequisite for DPI. But now it seems like as long as you don't grab or truck the receiver you can do whatever. 

    I would be fine with a little more grabby/physical play if DB's were tracking the football. 

    anymore ?

    maddening !

    remember Leodis McKelvin...first rounder and very first DB/CB taken in 2008 draft which has to our worst draft...evah...besides fumbling a kick-off return he should have downed in the endzone inside 2 mins with the Bills winning and then loosing to Brady/Pats because of that...

    see also JD Williams, he off the need for the flame-######ant jersey...cant believe he is CB coach for Fresno State..must be a "do as I say not as I did" coach

    both would run with and chase WRs all game with no sense of what else was going on...

     

    how do you coach "turn your head and not the body once or twice for a split second"  based on the timing of film study as when to expect the ball to be thrown or in the air ??? 

  6. Trey doesnt pracice yesterday and may not today or rest of week and Benford was limited yesterday..Looks lik Ingram may start and should be limited or removed from ST out fo necessity so Franklin gets the elevation and the reps and the pay..Prater may be a gametime decision..

    we are starting a 3rd stringer and a rookie (Strong) may have to play (some) for Benford..sub-opitmal

  7. ahh..the memories...of a lil kid at the ole Rcokpile (War Memorial)..first Bills game evah....Sept 19. 1971...

     

    Cowboys 49 at Bills  37...Dennis Shaw thows 4 TD passes and the usual (3) picks

     

    OJ 6 with a 6-yard TD run in front me....Marlin the Magiican 100+ yards receiving...at least I saw some legends, mostly on the other side...

     

    plus rookiie Tony Greene (Bills safety) smallest NFL player I ever saw..looked like a JV player out there...Bills on the way to a 1-13 record in 1971...sigh..

  8. Knox has the respect of Josh-coaches-players but not quite the play-maker the fans expected which is now going to be expected from Kincaid for plays and scores and Hawes for blocking..sad to say we could be looking at his last season (along with Milano) as a Bill as the cap has to be addressed...I also enjoyed him pounding beers with Tommy Doyle and others in Josh's (or sponsors ?) suite at Sabres games over the years...

    Matthew wright is also available 

     

    He and Dustin hopkins will be Looking for a starting role.

     

    I think these opportunities are for practice squad. To either or both:

    1) break glass if needed

    2) use in practice to cut down on reps for t.bass

    I dont want a kicker we can call "wide wright"

    • Haha (+1) 6
  10. Kelly, Thurman, Tasker and come to mind..Bills alumni are more diverse and winter adverse than the Sabres...

     

    Hyde did not have his celebrity softball tourney this year as far as I know...were there any other offseason charity events (golf tournaments ?)

  11. fans were surpised/disappiointed over the Poyer and Phllips signings which is true if these two ever make it to the active roster on gameday other than late season cameo appearances to rest the weary before the playoffs (hopefully) but I see their value in coaching their young replacements in between practice reps, in the filmroom and the locker room and maybe over beer and wings (not sure about that vet-youth dynamic but the position groups normally bond as the O-linemen go to Connor McGovern's house on fridays after weigh-in to pigout on homemade pizzas.)

     

    Not hearing of any Bills player who were cut catching-on with other teams as of yet, 1-2 usually do...no Levi Wallace updates either

     

    I think the Bills punting on davidson from the PS was a shank, esp if he can boom punts ..wonder if can he kick FGs

  12. extact from WIKIPEDIA - Levi Wallace

     

    Denver Broncos

    On April 22, 2024, the Denver Broncos signed Wallace to a one-year contract.

     

    While filling in for an injured Riley Moss in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns, Wallace struggled against former Broncos receiver Jerry Jeudy who recorded nine catches for 235 yards and a touchdown, the majority of which occurred with Wallace in coverage. This led to Wallace being benched in favor of rookie Kris Abrams-Draine in the 4th quarter

    On December 24, Wallace was waived by the Broncos....Merry F-ing XMAS

     

    Jacksonville Jaguars

    On August 2, 2025, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed Wallace. He was placed on injured reserve on August 9, and released on August 13

     

    addendum:

    On Aug 26, 2025 Levi Wallace self-psoted INSTAGRAM post that he was in Buffalo...being fitted for a flame-######ant jersey

  13. all good..so realistically...what is done that early/ahead of practice (2-3 hours in advance)

     

    Previuos day film review with OC/unit coaches would be the priority I think ..rand eview the exiisting playbook and add plays...as well as review the upcoming practice

     

    ...a personal workout...stretching....weights...cardio....massage...some lockeroom bonding-joking while they tape and dress for practice

     

    converations over breakfast with unit coaches, players...pre-practice.

  14. umpire high school baseball...ref high school and adult rec volleyball year round

    travel for certain concerts; Eagles at Sphere, Widespread Panic at Red Rocks, upcoming Clapton show in Philly, Phish anywhere, upcoming 716 Mccartney show

    mystery shopper - mostly food and oil changes - weird combo... for decades

    20+ year Lions club member our Labor Day car show will make 30+k for local charities..

    One Bills game per year - back to the 716 for the Bucs game to bid farewell  followed by Sabres and Oilers game

    Have young grandson somewhere on the autism spectrum so I read-up on that and how to better understand and help him and family
